Reply to "Initial ignition timing at flywheel"

Mike, I'm also getting tired of removing the firewall cover as I continue to dial in the distributor timing. Glad you brought it up.

Assuming the diameter of a 164 teeth Cleveland flywheel is 14.23" (based on three different Ford Web sites quoting same 14.23" figure), I calculated the circumference. Divide the circumference by 360 for degrees/inch and by 164 for degrees/tooth. Once we pick and mark the TDC tooth and corresponding point at the edge of the inspection window, we should be able to mark the flywheel with the advance timing points of interest. I think I got this right and just may try it out if I have time this weekend to see if my flywheel timing marks match the damper timing marks.

Ron
